LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 30, 2018 #1 I recently installed the latest B4A version. When I select a b4a project, "Open with" looks like this: So I don't know what B4A versions are those suggested/proposed. Can Anywhere Software add the version code to those items? [BTW, I have a 50% chance of guessing, so I click on the first one and check what version it is ] Last edited: May 30, 2018

Hm... choosing the first one, the last version installed was open; but I wanted to open the previous one, so I clicked the second item, getting a nice b4a crash.

MarkusR Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 30, 2018 #4 it seems it used the exe compiled name and icon. as workaround maybe try to replace the exe icon with a tool.

MarkusR Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 30, 2018 #6 the windows registry did not have anything to change but how about rename the extension to .b4abeta ? so you can assign a own app for this extension

LucaMs Expert Licensed User Longtime User May 30, 2018 #7 Good ideas; anyway, the second "link" causes a b4a crash, so I will open the right exe every time (just for now, when the last b4a beta version will be a no-more-beta version... ) Thank you.

MarkusR Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 30, 2018 #8 you can clean up the last opened with in registry. just search .b4a some times in regedit.exe HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3271362133-1796675707-313935223-1002\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.b4a

No. Normally you will not have multiple versions of B4A installed. Once the stable version is released you can uninstall the previous version.

MarkusR Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 31, 2018 #10 i can imagine that people with much projects in business solutions will have b4a 7 and b4a 8 beside. because migration need time & money & human ressources.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User May 31, 2018 #11 You can keep many versions as you like. Open the project from the IDE. B4A 8 is backwards compatible with B4A 7: [B4X] Backward Compatibility There is no reason to use an old version. In the rare case where something changes in an incompatible way it is because a new version of the OS required it so you need to upgrade any way.
